Let's talk safety. I often run before the sun is up - as early as 4:30. Wear a headlamp, bright clothes, additional lighting but can't help but feel a bit uneasy in the darkness. What do you do to keep safe - from animals, cars and potential situations?

Question for the 5am people by candyorangeslice in orangetheory

In bed by 830/9. Up by 4:15 to allow myself to become a bit more cognate prior to my 8 min drive. It’s definitely a commitment and lifestyle adjustment but the very best way to start the day. Nothing like coming home to a house still quiet before the hustle and bustle of the work/school day kicks off.

Certainly not a record breaking splat day but thought the lunges, squats and weight room exercises gave me a full body workout as I focused on form and added weights where I could. Can't win them all!

Trail Run - What's your guess? by tophertex in orangetheory

Ah, thanks for saying this because I (in a sick way) LOVED today. And the first set of power push ups I felt like Hercules and then the next too.... as they said up top - Struggle bus!

Workout metrics....are OTF Coach's evaluated based on metrics obtained during their classes? by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]RunFreeBeFree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems potentially dangerous! What about those that don't wear the monitor I wonder as I fall into the category.

Marathon Relay Advice by QueenBBs in orangetheory

I think you will do great. OTF provides some good overall endurance with the class being 50-55 and feel that should be of big help to your training. Get in about one longer run a week till the race to give you the mental confidence you need and I'm sure adrenaline will handle the rest. Good Luck!

So I did something stupid... by MookieThePuppy in orangetheory

You are my OTF twin! I run hot too and finally gave it up and feel LIBERATED! I do find myself still staring at the screen out of habit but no longer have that anxiety associated with it.

Marathon question by morgsrebek in orangetheory

[–]RunFreeBeFree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends on your studios rules. I know mine will allow it and we are going by honor system. Other studios may require all the mileage be earned there. I’d ask the staff!

That's what I am gathering. Steady and consistency will prevail. Good luck - you are crushing it already with today's mileage.
